breathless charm

Someday.
when I'm awfully low,
when the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
and the way you look tonight.

Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
and your cheeks so soft,
there is nothing for me but to love you,
and the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
tearing my fear apart
and that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
it touches my foolish heart.

Lovely, never, ever change,
keep that breathless charm,
won't you please arrange it?
cause I love you, just the way you look tonight.

You are the silliest, sassiest, most darling little two year old.  You get (and look) crazy past your bedtime.  You also get cuddly and sweet.  Tonight you crawled into my bed, squished your way in between Dad and me and nuzzled your crazy hair onto my pillow.  Then you looked at me with your big brown eyes and said, "Please! Puppies and kitties."  while nodding your head.  I knew exactly what you wanted-- to watch videos on my phone... of puppies or kitties or both.  You squealed when I put on a cute puppy video.  When it was over you kissed me and said, "Mom, I yuv u much."  Dear Roma girl.  I love you much and much.  You are such a delightful, bright, beautiful little girl.  Someday, when I'm awfully low, I will feel a glow just thinking of you.  And the way you looked tonight.
